From a Room of Tables to Manitoba’s Handmade Tradition
Since 1989, Brandon’s Big One has grown from a handful of tables into a two-weekend event that fills the Keystone Centre with 175 booths of handmade arts, crafts, and food. Every October, makers from across Manitoba and Saskatchewan come together to showcase their originality, their stories, and their passion.
It’s a place where neighbors gather, makers shine, and memories are made. Every booth tells a story.
Every purchase supports a dream. And every year, part of your admission goes directly to local CancerCare — $102,745 raised so far.
This isn’t just shopping. It’s community in action, connecting with the heart of local creativity.
It’s Not Just a Sale
It’s a Community Tradition
Shop Local First
Every dollar supports small businesses right here in Manitoba & Saskatchewan.
Always Original
Every item is handmade — no mass production, no repeats.
New Vendors Each Weekend
Two weekends, two completely different shows.
Giving Back Together
Over $102,000 donated to local CancerCare through admission proceeds.
175 Booths of Original, Handmade Treasures
Every October, more than 175 makers, bakers, and artisans from Manitoba and Saskatchewan fill the Keystone Centre with creations you won’t find anywhere else. From cozy knits to gourmet treats, from heritage crafts to modern artistry — there’s something for everyone.
And here’s the magic:
New Vendors Each Weekend.
That means you’ll discover fresh finds whether you visit once or twice!
We Believe
The Best Purchases
Are Handmade & Local
Every Dollar Spent Stays Close to Home
When you shop at Brandon’s Big One, you’re investing in your community.
You’re helping a family business grow, fueling creativity, and supporting local jobs. Even if you don’t buy, your presence, your voice, and your word-of-mouth keep these makers alive.
Supporting small business isn’t a trend. It’s a commitment to our shared future.
